The LNP blaming the Trump effect when they've endorsed everything he said and did and never spoke a word against him....certainly is rich. #auspol

Stolen from Reddit:

Sitting with Mum and she is making me look up the backgrounds of our politicians. Reading about Adam Bandt and the topic of his PhD thesis right now, which looked at "the connection between globalisation and the trend of governments to take away peoples' rights by suspending the rule of law". 😮

Just beginning the journey of tween years and social media. We live in a confusing time...right now Rednote is the 'safest' because the censorship is so heavy in the child protection space that it winds up being the best of them all. 🤷‍♀️. The rest just seem to normalise sexual content for kids...

Irish rap band KNEECAP getting censored left right and centre in the US right now, lets contribute to their Spotify listens. 🥰

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

Okay people, I'm looking for some good guests for 3RRR - specifically I'm after people in physics, astronomy, earth sciences, chemistry, meteorology, etc. If you know somebody or you are interested yourself in some science radio DM me. ECRs very welcome. Interviews will be in-studio.

So old timers, we all aware that IRC is back with the kids and conspiracy theorists or no? #socialmedia

The business world craves certainty, which is why we've developed the brilliant game "Pin The Tariffs On The Country" with a world map, a random number generator and a blindfolded intern deciding who gets what. The intern is also drunk.

If you haven't seen the animated movie Flow, I highly recommend it. It was the perfect balm to everything happening in the world right now, in that it takes you far far away from it. 🥰

Another day another tariff. But it got me thinking, where ISN'T being tariffed...? I suspect that might be quite eye-opening.

This is what happens when Xennials get the keys to the warehouse.. 😂

Every pandemic retrospective today

Listen to her and be able to hold a conversation about something other than yourself, your work or your politics. If you can do this then you have a chance at finding something shared that excites you...

Last month I did a little experiment. I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky. The results were...interesting... [Thread]

Any astronauts on here? I'm watching the ISS x SpaceX docking and was wondering, do astronauts on earth have dreams about being weightless? #nasa #spacex #astrosky www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLza...

Someone shared this on a Facebook page, made me laugh! #science #scisky #medsky

Privatising what we hold as human rights - education, health, safety, housing, will never, ever make sense to me.

We have new laws with seriously dangerous consequences in response to what was a fake plot police believe was designed to divert attention and resources to enable other criminal acts. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Across the sea will come Adze-head*, crazed in the head, his cloak with hole for the head, his stick bent in the head. He will chant impieties from a table in the front of his house; all his people will answer: "so be it, so be it - Druid prophecy from Ireland, recorded by Muirchú, 697AD.

Just your annual reminder AGAIN that womens present with heart attacks completely differently and right arm pain can absolutely be one. As can nausea, and 'feeling off'. #medsky Can't believe we still have to say this...

You know the great wheel has turned when you sit down to watch Star Wars IV with your ten year old and they last 10 minutes, declare it boring, and we are now watching Spy Family. 🤷‍♀️

Gun laws where you don't entirely ban guns so that the older codgers know exactly what they're doing when a teenager runs onto an aeroplane with a shotgun. No good guy with a gun required. Just Barry who grabs it and breaks it...! #guncontrol #australia 7news.com.au/news/avalon-...

What it's like to be an Australian right now. #trump #politics

There are currently cyclones causing trouble in the northern half of Australia. The relevant state government (that is currently refusing to give pay parity to its psychiatrists), posted this, asking healthcare workers to VOLUNTEER. In a developed (ie 'first world) country. #health #politics

Decades ago, Rupert Murdoch was well known for the saying "keep em scared, keep em stupid". What did he mean? He was referring to the power of the media to manipulate en masse - when you're scared, you're easier to manipulate. 1/2

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Meanwhile in Australia.... (one to cheer up my American friends) www.reddit.com/r/friendlyjo...

The origin story behind yesterday began in 2019 when Zelensky refused Trump’s illegal demand that he investigate Joe Biden.

Never have I seen DARVO operate at such a global scale as I have today. Treating Ukraine as if they are the aggressor...

unleashing social media on the world at large was like inflicting smallpox on immunologically naive peoples. Only psyches scarred over by endless stupid flamewars on usenet or IRC were truly ready for it
